   Cancer Name retinoblastoma
   ICD-0-3 C69.2  M9510/3
   Methods qPCR etc.
   Sample retinoblastoma tissues, cell lines (Weri-Rb1, Y79, ARPE-19 and HRMECs)
   Expression Pattern up-regulated
   Function Description

In our results, AFAP1-AS1 expression was elevated in retinoblastoma tissues and cell lines, and associated with tumor size, choroidal invasion, and optic nerve invasion. Moreover, high expression of AFAP1-AS1 was an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in retinoblastoma patients. The experiment in vitro suggested down-regulation of AFAP1-AS1 inhibited retinoblastoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and blocked cell cycle. In conclusion, AFAP1-AS1 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA in retinoblastoma.
